Conference: Fourth Biennial Meeting of the Society of Industrial and Applied Mathematics (PNW Section)

西华盛顿大学（贝灵汉，华盛顿）将主办工业与应用数学学会（SIAM）会议太平洋西北部2023年10月13日至15日，会议网站是：https://sites.google.com/view/siampnw23/home。这个垂直整合的会议汇集了从本科生到大学，国家实验室和工业界杰出研究人员的个人，主要来自太平洋西北地区。这些与会者，在应用和计算数学的前沿工作，在数学科学司的许多关键优先领域的专业知识。本次会议将（1）为交流应用和计算数学的最新进展及其在应用科学和工程中的跨学科应用提供一个论坛，（2）促进在太平洋西北地区工作的应用和计算数学家之间新的合作并加强现有的合作，（3）激励本科生、研究生、和博士后研究人员追求应用和计算数学的职业生涯，以及（4）鼓励来自代表性不足的群体和较小的地区学院的个人参与。在为期三天的会议期间，会谈将分为平行的主题会议（例如“小型研讨会”），包括四到五个20分钟的会谈。预计将举行约80场会谈。四位杰出的全体演讲者将就更广泛的及时主题进行长达一小时的演讲。茶歇、午餐、海报展示和招待会将促进与会者之间的积极交流。 今年，我们预计会有许多传统的应用和计算数学领域的主题，以及大规模优化、机器学习、人工智能、数据科学、能源可持续性和大数据挑战等新兴领域的主题。 该奖项将支持学生旅行和当地费用的会议，部分支持全体演讲者的旅行和海报接待。SIAM是美国最大的全国性组织，代表学术界和工业界的应用数学家。像SIAM年会，其国际同行的国际工业与应用数学大会（ICIAM），我们即将举行的太平洋西北SIAM部分两年一度的会议将是跨学科的，并将有专题会议上广泛的主题展示在太平洋西北地区应用数学研究领域的多样性。SIAM-PNW部分反映了更大的SIAM组织，因为计算数学在其成员的研究领域中得到了很好的代表。此外，由于SIAM-PNW与太平洋西北地区数值分析研讨会（隔年举行）有很大的重叠，太平洋西北地区高度集中了依赖先进计算方法的高科技产业，我们预计将有大量的计算数学社区特别感兴趣的主题专题会议。从以前会议的科学内容来衡量，我们可以期待有关于数值线性代数，优化，求解偏微分方程的新数值方法，图像处理，统计，逆方法和数据同化，高性能计算，计算代数和几何，以及地球科学中的数值建模和模拟的会谈和小型研讨会。今年会议的全体发言人在这些领域以及凸优化、在线算法、对抗鲁棒性和机器学习等新兴领域都具有专业知识。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估来获得支持。

Western Washington University (Bellingham, Washington) will host the Pacific Northwest Section of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) meeting October 13-15, 2023, the conference website is: https://sites.google.com/view/siampnw23/home. This vertically integrated meeting brings together individuals from undergraduates to distinguished researchers at universities, national labs, and industry, mainly from the Pacific Northwest. These conference participants, working at the forefront of applied and computational mathematics have expertise in many of the key priority areas of the Division of Mathematical Sciences. This meeting will (1) provide a forum for the exchange of recent advances in applied and computational mathematics and their interdisciplinary applications in the applied sciences and engineering, (2) foster new, and reinforce existing collaborations between applied and computational mathematicians working in the Pacific Northwest region, (3) inspire undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral researchers to pursue careers in applied and computational mathematics, and (4) encourage participation from individuals from under-represented groups and smaller regional colleges. Talks during the three day meeting will be organized into parallel blocks of thematic sessions (e.g. “mini-symposium”) consisting of four-five 20-minute talks. A total of about 80 talks are expected. Four distinguished plenary speakers will deliver hour-long talks on broader timely topics. Coffee breaks, catered lunch and a poster session and reception will facilitate an active exchange of ideas between conference attendees. This year, we expect thematic topics on many traditional areas of applied and computational mathematics as well as topics in emerging areas of large scale optimization, machine learning, artificial intelligence, data science, energy sustainability, and challenges of big-data. This award will support student travel and local expenses to the meeting, partially support plenary speaker travel and the poster reception. SIAM is the largest US national organization representing applied mathematicians from both academics and industry. Like the SIAM Annual meeting, and its international counterpart the International Congress on Industrial and Applied Mathematics (ICIAM), our upcoming Pacific Northwest SIAM Section Biennial Meeting will be interdisciplinary and will have thematic sessions on a wide range of topics showcasing the diversity of research areas in applied math in the Pacific Northwest. The SIAM-PNW section reflects the larger SIAM organization in that computational mathematics is well-represented in the research areas of its members. Moreover, because the SIAM-PNW has such as large overlap with the Pacific Northwest Numerical Analysis Seminar (held in alternate years), and the Pacific Northwest has such a high concentration of high-tech industry that relies on advanced computational methods, we expect to have a significant number of thematic sessions on topics of particular interest to the computational mathematics communities. Gauging from scientific content of previous meetings, we can expect to have talks and mini-symposium sessions on numerical linear algebra, optimization, novel numerical methods for solving partial differential equations, image processing, statistics, inverse methods and data assimilation, high performance computing, computational algebra and geometry, and numerical modeling and simulation in the geosciences. The plenary speakers for this year's meeting have experise in these areas, as well as in emerging areas of convex optimization, online algorithms, adversarial robustness and machine learning.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
